Acer Liquid Metal - Going with the Flow

By Wong Casandra - 28 Feb 2011

Conclusion

The Verdict

The Liquid Metal is decidedly a decent all-round smartphone which sports a decent screen size, adequate processing power, reasonable audio/multimedia capabilities and high battery mileage . We weren't such big fans of its bulky and fingerprint-crazy exterior, but what really takes the cake is its counter-productive Breeze UI. While it was a valiant attempt to position itself differently from the existing horde of Android phones, it actually complicates the user interface. Thankfully, there's the option to switch to the basic Android UI. It is also worthy to mention that the Acer Liquid Metal comes with some novelty status LEDs like its Liquid predecessor, which gives the mobile phone an interesting edge over others. While it doesn't bring anything substantially new to the plate (been there, done that syndrome), at S$599, the Liquid Metal does come with an attractive price that outweighs its cons.
